Nope, Jacob's ladder is a high voltage applied across a pair of semi-parallel vertical rods, which arcs between them and convection causes the arc to travel up the rods. Polaris, aka "The North Star", is the constellation of Ursa Minor, in the part of it known as "The Little Dipper".

There is no constellation called Jacob's Ladder. The 88 official constellations are listed here: http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellation_list.html Maybe there's a folk asterism by that name, but I've never heard of it.
